Tankie are leftists, they are not progressives.
And progressives are not leftists, they are centrist liberals. Sanders is never going to call abolishing private ownership of the means of production.
Idk why you’re being downvoted, you’re right.
Because some other db0 user is angry with me and is downvoting everything I say regardless of content.
Left is Progress, Right is Conservation of old ways (Conservative)

Trump is progressive by that logic because he is dismantling the old ways.

People are alive today that remember the times without restriction very very clearly. Namely the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the following welfare programs that saved or improved millions of lives, politicians on the right want to tear that down.
